The Architect

He admired the columns, walls, floors and roofs
of the marble castles; they were so beautiful
that visitors from far away lands 
cried tears of awe -
they felt as though they were in heaven.

He had a plan in his mind;
it had a structure of castles which glowed
like the Sun, and levitated in the air;
they didn't need cranes or masons to build
them. They only needed a sense of silence,
empty mind, and a blissful imagination.....
